Getting the basics to our fellow Vancouverites.
Brand new socks + undies for adults living with serious mental illness.
T H A N K Y O U 2 0 2 3 D O N O R S!
Together, we delivered on over 4 0 0 0 pairs of #thebasicsformentalhealth.
Warm Em Up! 2023 was again dedicated to safely collecting and delivering on our promise of
new socks + underwear + love.
In partnership, we showed folks at The Kettle Society and Recovery Cafe how much we care.
This coming together ends up being about much more than these undergarments –
together we’re weaving a stronger social fabric.
Tax receipts for your generosity available thanks to our wonderful friends at The Kettle Society.
THANK YOU VANCOUVER.
We have hand-delivered 16,500+ brand new pairs of adult socks + underwear over the years. You organize item drives as Warmbassadors, visit our participating drop off locations with your thoughtful selections, arrange drop offs with us despite inclement weather, and donate generously so we can do the shopping for you.
For everyone’s safety, we went entirely virtual in 2021.
We’ve been doing ALL the shopping for you, but it’s time to get back to our roots.
We bet some of you already have some awesome new basics for us! If you already have brand new socks + undies to get to us for this coming year’s campaign, please email [email protected] to arrange pick up or delivery.

Warm Em Up! started out of the trunk of a car in 2006 as an initiative to help empower fellow Vancouverites living with serious mental illnesses.
Individuals were communicating very simple and specific needs going unmet. Everyone deserves to know they’re heard. And so it began.
